Paint colours

Post by Coxey »

I know that my X3 Kanguro is black with a red frame but does anyone know what modern spray paint matches the red perfectly? My newly acquired side stand needs some 8)

Advice from NLM when I asked the same question is that they used several different reds, best to take a side cover or some small part into Halfords and have a good look.

If you want to match paint, take in a sample and have it custom mixed.

Paint colours/shades/tones/hues etc. were never that well controlled and even today you should try and match batch codes on spary cans.

There simply is no such thing as the right colour, simply a range that falls into a "that's the sort of thing they used".
